you just saw the highlights and me and many others(like sky sports commentators, cricinfo reporters) saw it live, with lots of replays. There is no argue in whether ball did not carry or not. All knows it did not, the only argue is whether Jones did it intentionally or not. And I am 100% sure he did know it did not carry. Go to BBC forum, you will see, many English fan also thinks Jones cheated.

Within 12 overs Bangladesh had posted 50 without loss, but the manner in which this partnership was ended soured the atmosphere.

Andrew Flintoff banged the ball into the pitch. Nafees Iqbal fended and the ball brushed his glove, which took away some of its momentum. Geraint Jones dived forward and claimed the catch; England celebrated and Nafees set off for the pavilion. Halfway there, he was encouraged to turn around by his colleagues on the balcony. So he did, but umpire Tony Hill nodded that he was out.

The TV replays, we know, are unreliable on disputed catches. But on this occasion they made the catch look very dodgy indeed. Dav Whatmore, the Bangladesh coach and a diplomat to the core, said that he would be touching on this subject in his report to the match referee. It was clear that the Bangladesh team on the balcony were certain that the catch was bogus. That was my impression too. Had this been an Ashes Test, World War III would have broken out. Instead there was just a bewildered shaking of heads. It should not make any difference who the opposition are.

Nowadays, umpires are encouraged to make these decisions on the field rather than refer to the third umpire, unless their view is obscured. In this instance no third umpire could possibly have pressed the red button. We must assume that Geraint Jones was sure the catch had carried. If not, he could do with a personal audience with Rodney Marsh, who famously called Derek Randall back in the Centenary Test, a rather more important game than this one, because he was unsure of the validity of the catch.

But in the afternoon, after Vaughan's lunchtime declaration, the game departed from the script. Bangladesh topped 250, which was fine, and they defiantly took the match into a third day, but the match briefly lost much of its merriment. Within 12 overs Bangladesh had posted 50 without loss, but the manner in which this partnership was ended soured the atmosphere.

Mate...you have got to be kidding Even after watching all those replays, HOW can you not see that the ball fell a few inches short before Jones got to it? Maybe Jones genuinely felt he caught the ball well but the FACT IS HE DIDN'T...every radio and TV commentator agree on this.
